Yoshi Oshi

on Overstock.com...

Are these prices really that good?

Because I paid less for my Yoshi Oshi timepiece and it's way cooler.

Was that one really going for fifty bucks.

Hard to believe. Because I bought mine at a mall kiosk and I think it was like twelve bucks or thereabouts.

I got the Cat God with the upraised fist, Stokely Carmichael style. He has a clock nested deep in his fat little belly. It looks like an old mariner's instrument down there in his belly.

But i do sorta like the cow.

I'm just going to the YoshiOshi site.

The really cute items are doubtless there.

Here. Just go here instead.

Those are cute, but I have no need for clocks as they make me nervous because I'm usually running late somewhere. I used to wear a watch as more of as something just to have on my left wrist rather than to tell time. I got a tattoo there instead; less stress involved. xo

Hehe.

I never took my Yoshi Oshi out of the package as the packaging is so cut.

I think there Japlish is fake though.

It's probably run by a couple of college kids with MBAs posing as culturally challenged autistic watch-making savants.

Yoshi Oshi never really developed or took off.

If you read their marketing copy there you'll see why.

So the MBA thing is a joke.

They seem a little clueless.

Maybe I'm wrong but I bet they go south soon.

I wish they'd make more things.

I can't deal with replacing the battery in my pretty watch so I don't wear it.

It's too tard to wear it without it working.

That would just be too damn emblematic.
